Turkiye is taking significant steps towards reducing aviation emissions by mandating the use of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). The country aims to achieve a 5% reduction in aviation emissions by 2030, in line with UN aviation standards. This initiative will require airlines operating in Turkiye to adopt more sustainable practices and will compel jet fuel suppliers to procure SAF to meet emission reduction targets. Tupras and Socar, two local refiners, are set to start production of SAFs to support this initiative. Non-compliance will result in penalties for airlines and fuel suppliers. To support the increased demand for sustainable aviation fuel, Tupras plans to ramp up production significantly, targeting 20,000 metric tons in 2026 and aiming for 400,000 tons by expanding production facilities. Additionally, DB Tarimsal Enerji, a local biofuel firm, is also looking to contribute by planning to produce 100,000 tons of SAF at a new plant. The collaboration between Honeywell UOP and NTPC highlights the focus on developing green hydrogen infrastructure to support sustainable aviation fuel production. This strategic partnership is crucial for addressing environmental concerns and promoting greener practices in the aviation sector. The article emphasizes the importance of these measures in light of the significant carbon emissions attributed to the aviation industry globally. Overall, Turkiye's initiative to mandate sustainable aviation fuel usage represents a positive step towards achieving environmental sustainability in the aviation sector, aligning with international standards and emphasizing the country's commitment to reducing carbon emissions.
